Republican candidate admits supporting eugenics

Republican candidate admits supporting eugenics

The Republican congressional candidate James L Hart has acknowledged that he is an unapologetic supporter of eugenics, the fake science that resulted in thousands of people being sterilised in an attempt to purify the white race.

He believes the country will look "like one big Detroit" - which has a large African-American population - if it doesn't eliminate welfare payments and immigration. He believes that if blacks were integrated centuries ago, the automobile would never have been invented.

<snip>

...(D)espite his radical views, Mr Hart may end up winning the Republican nomination in a north-western Tennessee district because he is the only Republican candidate on the ballot in tomorrow's primary.

3. The legacy of two centuries of slavery and a century of Jim Crow...

plus a more rural, less-educated population...although, to be fair, the South has ALSO produced Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton & Al Gore...and there are plenty of fuckwits like this in the rest of the country, too (the southern ones just get more press, thanks to the South's unpleasant history).

When someone from ANY OTHER area in the country pulls some stupid shit you never see these kind of replies! Never see "dang what's up with all you Yankees?"

Sorry for the rant but this gets really old!
